Aquatic Worm (Tan)

Wrap thread onto hook shank. Attach the body material with 3 to 5 tight
wraps of thread. Continue to wrap thread around the body material from the
base of the tail to the front end of the body. This makes an even
underbody foundation.

Wax thread with a light coat of wonder wax. Apply a thin amount of
dubbing. Spread dubbing fibers out evenly on thread. Twist dubbing evenly
on thread with thumb and forefinger.

Wind dubbing to form a hump in the body at 2/3 point of hook shank.

Evenly wind on the larva lace in back of and in front of the dubbing hump.
Secure with 5 tight thread wraps.

Whip finish head with 4 to 8 turns. Pull tag end firmly and cut off excess
thread. Place a drop of head cement on knot and allow it to penetrate both
the thread base and lace stems.

Simple fly that imitates aquatic worms. I like to tie it on a curved hook
because it twists like it's alive when drifted about a foot off the
bottom. Other colors are effective. Collect some samples in your local
water and match their coloration and size.
